NEW YORK (AP) — An experimental Hungarian novel and a collection of Romanian poetry have won prizes for best English language translations.
Laszlo Krasznahorkai's (LAHZ'-lo krahs-na-HOAR'-kay's) "Satantango," translated into English by Georges Szirtes (ZUR'-tes), won the Best Translated Book Award for fiction.
The poetry winner was Nichita Stanescu's (neh-KEE'-ta STAH'-nes-koo's) "Wheel With a Single Spoke," translated by Sean Cotter.
Thanks to a grant from Amazon.com, winning authors and translators each receive $5,000.
The awards were announced Monday by Three Percent, a resource for international literature that is based at the University of Rochester. The project is named for a widely reported statistic that only 3 percent of books published in the U.S. are works in translation.

NOAA Deploys Third "Smart Buoy" As Part of Interpretive Buoy System on the Chesapeake Bay
The NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office today deployed its third "smart buoy" as part of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail — the nation's first water-based National Historic Trail. The buoy is positioned at the mouth of the Patapsco River, near Baltimore, Md., and is the third observation platform to be launched this summer as part of the Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System.
"The Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure. This smart buoy uses innovative science and technology to help us learn more about the health of the bay through time," said U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski. "I'm so proud of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail for working to preserve the bay for future generations. I will continue to fight for new technologies to protect and restore the bay."
The buoys collect meteorological and water-quality data as well as information on waves and currents, via a system of sensors, which then transmits the information to the Web in real time via a high-speed data network. These measurements, as well as historical and cultural information about the bay, can be accessed over the internet at http://www.buoybay.org and by phone at (877) BUOY-BAY (286-9229).
To interpret the data available from the buoys, the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office is developing educational and interpretive components including a Web-based classroom curriculum that uses data to teach students about the bay and its resources. Working with partners, the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office is creating multidisciplinary lessons that weave science and math together with history and culture.
"The Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System is a wonderful marriage of the past and the present. New technologies afford us the opportunity to relate current-day conditions with those observed by Captain John Smith," said Peyton Robertson, acting director of the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office. "By understanding what once was, as compared to what is, we hope citizens will be inspired to be good stewards of the bay and its valuable resources."
Two such "smart buoys" were launched earlier this year. The first is located in the James River off Jamestown, Va., and the second where the Potomac River meets the Bay. The data from these buoys, displayed with information from other observation platforms around the Bay including the Chesapeake Bay Observing System, also will be available at http://www.buoybay.org.
NOAA partnered with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Baltimore District, who used their debris removal vessel Reynolds to position the buoy on the Patapsco River. NOAA then extensively tested the buoy to ensure the data flows smoothly from the sensors on the buoy via wireless technology to the Internet.
The Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, administered by the National Park Service, includes a network of water routes that covers 3,000 miles that extend along parts of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and Washington, D.C., along routes taken by Captain John Smith in 1607 and 1608 to chart the land and waterways of the Chesapeake Bay. In addition to tracking the routes Captain Smith explored by boat, the trail will highlight the natural history of the Bay and provide new opportunities for recreation, education and tourism in the Chesapeake Bay region, and will encourage stewardship of this national treasure.
NOAA provides science, service, and stewardship to advance NOAA's mission in the mid-Atlantic region, and to protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay through its programs in fisheries management, habitat restoration, coastal observations and education and collaboration with the Chesapeake Bay Program. The NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office was established in 1992 to provide a focus for NOAA's multiple capabilities and activities in the Chesapeake Bay.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, is celebrating 200 years of science and service to the nation. From the establishment of the Survey of the Coast in 1807 by Thomas Jefferson to the formation of the Weather Bureau and the Commission of Fish and Fisheries in the 1870s, much of America's scientific heritage is rooted in NOAA.
NOAA is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and information service delivery for transportation, and by providing environmental stewardship of our nation's coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners, more than 70 countries and the European Commission to develop a global monitoring network that is as integrated as the planet it observes, predicts and protects.

It's Consumer's Choices as Guidelines Change
It's been a hard day. A glass of wine would take the edge off, and, as an added bonus, it's good for my heart. But wait a minute—a new study just came out saying that same glass of wine may increase my risk of breast cancer.
Or does it, because another study…
Welcome to the ambivalent world of healthcare, where confusion reigns as shifts in science and guidelines seemingly raise more questions than they answer. It was once said of flattery that only three groups of people are susceptible: men, women, and children. The same principle applies to guidelines confusion; no one is immune.
What's a Woman to Do?
The wine conundrum is interesting but hardly unique. A study that came out last year shows for the first time that a compound in red wine, resveratrol, has health benefits in humans. Previous studies were in mice, so this is regarded as a milestone and scientific confirmation of the French Paradox (eat fois gras, drink wine, live long).
However, just as I was thinking of uncorking that nice Pinot, another study caught my eye. A Harvard study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that women who consume 3-5 glasses of wine a week were 15% more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer. The link between alcohol and breast cancer has been known for some time, but it was believed that women who drank less than 14 glasses a week, or two per day, were not at risk. This study shows that even very moderate levels increase a woman's risk of cancer.
But wait, just when the link between alcohol and breast cancer seemed absolute, another "just-released" study says that red wine may protect a woman against breast cancer. It seems that there is a property in red grapes that lowers estrogen levels, a known risk in breast cancer.
It is understandable that women feel whipsawed by these studies. Dr. Wendy Chen of Harvard Medical School says that women may make their choices based on family history and overall health risks. A woman may feel the value of wine to heart health may outweigh the cancer risk, and heart disease kills more women than cancer. The study on red wine may make this an easier choice, but what if the woman prefers Chardonnays?
Wine choices aside, what about something as simple as an annual physical? Recently, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) revised guidelines on PAP tests, saying that only women between the ages of 21 and 65 should be screened and that should be every three years. This revision is not extremely controversial and is supported by the American Cancer Society and other medical groups. Still, it comes as a surprise to many women who have the PAP test yearly as part of their "well woman" checkup. One more sacred totem of healthcare is knocked down as public health studies challenge the "conventional wisdom" of past guidelines.
Guidelines for women's health have been in flux for a long enough time that shifts in recommendations no longer surprise. In 2009, the USPSTF recommended against routine mammography screening for women in their 40s. This produced howls of protest from the American Cancer Society (ACS) and other healthcare groups, resulting in a Congressional hearing. The Task Force has stood by their guidelines despite a storm of criticism that has not abated. ACS has also stood firm in continuing to recommend a yearly mammogram starting at age 40.
Science is not helping to settle this issue; two new studies only add to the confusion with findings that support and negate the value of mammography. Most recently, studies presented in 2011 at the Radiological Society of North America annual meeting suggest a dip in breast cancer detection resulting from a drop in screenings. This drop in detection most impacts women in their forties, a group that accounts for nearly 20% of all breast cancers.
In May of last year the USPSTF came out with new guidelines recommending against the use of hormone replacement therapy in post-menopausal women. This is causing some consternation in women's health circles as many physicians believe that dangers of hormone replacement were overblown in the landmark 2002 Women's Health Initiative study and that hormones have clear benefits for bone and heart health. In fact, recently published research shows a heart benefit in younger women taking hormones. However, the Task Force found limited evidence that hormones in post-menopausal women protect against bone fractures and heart disease, and put women at slight risk for blood clots and other disorders.
As a result, the Task Force put out a recommendation in October that women should take hormones only for the relief of menopausal symptoms and not for longer term disease prevention. For the one out of five post-menopausal women in America who take hormones, this information will create a new decision point in their healthcare. Yet there will not be strong consensus from the medical community to guide that decision.
Most recently, the USPSTF caused another tremor in the world of women's health by recommending against routine screenings for ovarian cancer. Results from a large clinical study revealed no benefit to women from the screening, and there is some risk of unnecessary surgery based on a false-positive test.
Guideline Confusion Has No Gender BiasMen are not immune to the confusion and angst caused by new science and shifting guidelines. Recent recommendations of USPSTF regarding the routinely performed Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) screening for prostate cancer have caused quite a stir. In the past year, the Task Force recommended against routine screening based on large population studies that showed little value, and possible harm to men, when the test is conducted.
As if this news wasn't startling enough, to find that a once sacrosanct screening was now "recommended against," the American Cancer Society offered a clarification that was anything but. Men could "start the discussion" with their physician at age 50, or if they are at higher risk, age 45. Older men, we are told, may not benefit at all since the risks of screening may outweigh the benefits of treatment. Men are urged to "make informed choices" but left to determine how to do that.
Another study was recently published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute that supports the Task Force's recommendation. This large clinical trial showed that routine PSA testing in men age 55-74 did not prevent prostate cancer deaths. Yet the research findings were not without controversy. Dr. William Catelona, prostate cancer surgeon at Northwestern University, notes, "It is a flawed study." Flawed or not, it is a study getting a lot of attention and adding little clarity to the screening debate.
A year ago, USPSTF came out with yet another guideline on the PSA test, this time saying definitively that doctors should not perform the screening, that it does more harm than good. This is the equivalent of upgrading a hurricane warning from a category three to a four. The medical community was hardly running for shelter. According to a survey in the Archives of Internal Medicine, only one in two doctors agree with the recommendation, and nearly all agreed that they did not intend to follow the guideline in practice.
In another head-spinning development, while Vitamin E has long been thought to help prevent prostate cancer, it was shown in a National Cancer Institute study that men who take high daily doses of the vitamin have a 17% greater risk of developing cancer. This study, just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), flies in the face of previous studies that touted the benefits of the vitamin in the prevention of prostate cancer.
The treatment front can be just as confusing for men. A National Institute of Health (NIH) panel has just recommended that men with early stage prostate cancer should put off treatment in favor of medical monitoring of their condition. This "go slow" strategy is based on research findings that surgery or radiation does not increase survival and that these treatments often worsen quality of life. In fact, there is discussion about re-branding low risk tumors and calling them something other than "cancer."
The Kids are Alright (Right?)
Children are not exempt from the whipsaw of healthcare guidelines. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHBLI) just issued recommendations that say all children between the ages of 9 and 11 should have their cholesterol tested. Previously, testing was recommended only if there was a history of high cholesterol or early heart disease in the family. Accumulated research reveals, however, that high cholesterol in childhood can lead to early signs of heart disease.
Despite an endorsement from the American Academy of Pediatrics, this recommendation is not without criticism. Dr. Nortin Hadler, professor of medicine at the University of North Carolina, expressed "grave reservations," noting that elevated cholesterol levels do not necessarily lead to heart disease. In another wrinkle on the cholesterol front, a new study disputes that raising LDL, "good cholesterol," levels have any effect on heart health.
Perhaps the most controversial new guideline aimed at children is the one issued by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommending that boys at age 11 or 12 receive the HPV vaccine. As some politicians have recently discovered, this vaccine is still controversial for girls, even though it offers clear protection against cervical cancer. The argument for vaccinating boys is less compelling, though the vaccine will prevent genital warts and certain cancers, as well as the chance that they will spread the virus. Still, this may be a tough sell for parents who question the value relative to the cost.
So What Does All of This Mean?
On the policy front, the Affordable Care Act mandates that health screenings be paid for by insurance plans without co-pay deductions. This is intended to encourage consumers to get recommended screenings. All health professionals endorse this concept, but the ambiguity lies in what those screenings should be and for whom. Healthcare communicators have a special obligation to understand this dynamic and to help consumers navigate the choices they must make. As studies continue to change the calculus of benefit versus risk in many areas of health, we can expect even more fluidity in guidelines and fewer "clear choices."
Still, amidst this swirling shift of science and lack of certitude, some conclusions can be drawn:
- Confusion is not going away anytime soon. The adage of medicine being more art than science has never seemed more true. Guidelines change in response to evolving science, and this is a good thing. The unfortunate byproduct, however, is the confusion left in the wake of these changes.
- Physicians are influencers, not deciders. Consumers used to look at physicians as the ultimate deciders on issues of health. Now physicians are positioned as influencers, with the weight of decisions increasingly borne by consumers. We are urged to "partner with our physician" in making decisions, but, ultimately, the patient is the final arbiter in matters of health.
- Consumerism is on the rise. Fueled in part by the plethora of available information online, the rise of consumerism in healthcare has been dramatic. Healthcare is the number one reason that women access the internet. Websites, blogs, mobile apps and other social media offer content on every conceivable health condition. As a result, consumers are more educated than ever before.
- Being passive is not an option. While much of this is empowering, it also puts the burden on the consumer to seek out accurate and credible sources of information. Passivity will not cut through the fog of ambiguity. You have to make informed choices, sometimes on a daily basis.

What is Glutathione?
Glutathione is synthesized in the body from the amino acids L-cysteine, L-glutamic acid, and glycine. The sulfhydryl (thiol) group (SH) of cysteine serves as a proton donor and is responsible for the biological activity of glutathione.
It is an antioxidant, preventing damage to important cellular components caused by reactive oxygen species such as free radicals and peroxides
Raising GSH levels through direct supplementation of glutathione is difficult. Research suggests that glutathione taken orally is not well absorbed across the gastrointestinal tract. In a study of acute oral administration of a very large dose (3 grams) of oral glutathione, Witschi and coworkers found "it is not possible to increase circulating glutathione to a clinically beneficial extent by the oral administration of a single dose of 3 g of glutathione."
One study showed that patients after a heart attack were benefited by intravenous glutathione. Another study was done in Italy by a neurologist named Sechi who showed that intravenous glutathione (600mg twice daily) significantly improved patients with early Parkinson's disease giving a 42% decline in disability.
Glutathione and Heart Attack
Altomare, Emanuele, et al."High-Dose Antioxidant Therapy During Thrombolysis in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction," Current Therapeutic Research, February, 1996;57(2):131-141.
This study evaluated 67 patients with a myocardial infarction treated with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA), of which 35 received glutathione at an intravenous bolus initially of 1800 mg followed by 20 ug/kg per minute for the next 24 hours. Intravenous glutathione appears to limit the adverse effects associated with reperfusion-induced oxidative stress.
Glutathione and Cancer
Glutathione therapy can reduce the toxicity of some chemo agents. In one study (Tedeschi), the toxicity of cisplatin, an effective drug in the treatment of solid tumors, was greatly reduced. It is proposed in this article that glutathione is a promising antidote. Glutathione is a safe compound that prevents cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity without affecting its antitumor activity. This would enhance the ability to use higher doses of cisplatin and improve efficacy against certain tumors. The advantage of the combination of glutathione with high doses of cisplatin was demonstrated by the impressive response rate in the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Back in his playing days, Magic Johnson used to say the first thing he did was search for the dates when his Lakers would face Larry Bird and the Celtics and then he'd circle them on his calendar.
Every fan does it — scours the schedule, finds those special games with the extra story line or pop and starts to make up those early excuses to duck out on minor social commitments like weddings, bar mitzvahs and funerals in order to be in front of the big screen TV.
Here's a fast-breaking head start on 15 games you don't want to miss:
Tues., Oct. 30 — Celtics at Heat (TNT) — You've got The Heatles of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh singing, "Yeah, yeah, yeah!" as they're presented with their championship rings before the season opener. Maybe it's the first of "not one, not two, not three, not four, not five…" And you've got the image of the traitorous Ray Allen suiting up for the first time against his ex-Celtics teammates. There is not a more intense rivalry in the NBA today than Miami-Boston. The enmity is visceral.
Thur., Nov. 1 — Knicks at Brooklyn Nets (TNT) — Welcome to the first regular-season home game by a major league professional sports team in Brooklyn since the Dodgers last played at Ebbets Field on Sept. 24, 1957. The sparkling Barclays Center hosts the Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire and friends against the new home team led by the high-powered backcourt of Deron Williams and Joe Johnson in the new Battle of New York. The Knicks never quite took the Nets seriously while they were across the river in New Jersey. But now the resurgent Nets could own the five boroughs.
Thur., Nov. 1 — Thunder at Spurs (TNT) — It's the season opener for Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden and the rest of the young guns, coming off their loss to the Heat in The Finals. They return to the site of their most singular victory to date, the Game 5 breakthrough at the AT&T Center that propelled OKC to their stunning 4-2 reversal against the Spurs in the Western Conference finals in June. Tim Duncan is signed up for three more years, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker are at his side and the Spurs believe the door is still open for them.
Fri., Nov. 2 — Clippers at Lakers (ESPN) — Remember all of the hard fouls, the technicals, the takedowns, the trash talk? Well, that was just a warm-up for Year 2 of the L.A. Battle Royale. Now the Lakers have Steve Nash, but the Clippers have Grant Hill. The Lakers are telling themselves they are not past their prime to win another championship with an aging Kobe Bryant and the Clippers are telling themselves they are no longer a joke with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin leading the way. This no longer a laughing matter.
Sun., Nov. 11 — Magic at Nets (League Pass) –– If we assume that the Magic open the season with the NBA's tallest malcontent still on their roster, this will be flip-flopping Dwight Howard's chance to see the brand new palace that he could have been calling his home court if he hadn't signed away his right to become a free agent last March. Oh, Dwight, Brooklyn hardly knew ye.
Mon., Dec. 17 — Rockets at Knicks (NBA TV) –– How do you go from Jeremy Linsanity to Jeremy Linvisible in the space of just 10 months? Well, after his 15 minutes of fame made him a worldwide celebrity, Jeremy Lin signed a three-year, $25.1 million free agent contract with Houston and the Knicks turned him out like he was Fredo Corleone. Now Lin makes his first trip back to Madison Square Garden in a visiting uniform and it will be interesting to see whether the old fans give him a roaring welcome to Manhattan or a Bronx cheer.
Fri., Nov. 23 — Timberwolves at Trail Blazers (League Pass) — It wouldn't normally leap off the page of the calendar and scream "Watch me!" But it will be former favorite son Brandon Roy making his first trip back to the Rose Garden after retiring, cashing that big amnesty check from the Blazers and then deciding, um, he's not done yet.
Tues., Dec. 25 — Thunder at Heat (ABC) — Ho! Ho! Ho! It's Duranta Claus coming down the chimney of the defending champs in the first meeting since LeBron's crowning moment when the Heat closed out OKC 4-1 in The Finals. The Heat now have Allen and Rashard Lewis under their Christmas tree, but that Thunder package now comes wrapped in another year's worth of experience.
Wed., Jan. 30 — Lakers at Suns (ESPN) — What if Batman showed up on the streets of Gotham City wearing the green hair and purple suit of the Joker? Well, Nash might not pull on a fright wig, but that purple uniform of the arch-villain Lakers will be scary enough for the former adoring masses in Phoenix. Will they salute the past battles of the two-time MVP when he was a desert rat fighting the Laker empire or give him the disdain of any friend of Kobe's?
Thur., Jan. 17 — Heat at L.A. Lakers (TNT) — They've been two teams going in vastly different directions for the past two seasons. But now that Kobe Bryant has Nash to run the pick-and-roll for Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum and take some of the offensive burden off his back, the Lakers believe they'll have enough scoring pop to squeeze their way back into the contender conversation with the reigning kings.
Sun., Feb. 10 — Lakers at Heat (ABC) –– Sure, it's the last stop on a grueling seven-game road trip for the Lakers. But don't think for a minute that Kobe won't be packing that SPF-24 and plenty of attitude for the rematch against the red-hot boys from Miami. It's also a chance for LeBron and D-Wade to remind Nash that he made the wrong decision in not bringing his talents to South Beach.
Thur., Feb. 7 — Lakers at Celtics (TNT) –– Forget that Magic and Bird are long gone, that neither team has won a championship in the past two seasons. This is still the seminal rivalry in the NBA. Kobe vs. Kevin Garnett on the parquet floor, listening to the crowd chant: "Beat L.A.! Beat L.A." It doesn't get better than this.
Thur., Feb. 14 — Heat at Thunder (TNT) — Never mind the roses and the box of chocolates. Here's a big, juicy one right on the kisser, compliments of the league's power couple. Are these two teams sailing along with the best records in their respective conferences? Are LeBron and Durant battling it out for the MVP Award? One thing is certain: there will be no love lost when the Thunder get last season's conquerors back in their embrace in Loud City.
Wed., Feb. 20 — Celtics at L.A. Lakers (ESPN) — It's been a couple of years since Doc Rivers left that wad of cash stuffed up in the ceiling tiles of the visitors' locker room at the Staples Center. But it's still special when the Celtics come to town. Even the jaded Laker fans pay more attention to the game on the floor than the Hollywood celebs on "Kiss Cam."
Sun., Apr. 7 — Lakers at Clippers (ABC) –– One last time for the brothers to wrestle on the furniture in the family room, likely with playoff seeding (and possibly with the Pacific Division title) up for grabs. You sit back and relish the pushing, shoving, scratching and clawing and hope they can do it for best-of-seven in a few more weeks.

Mary Aloe Entertainment Become A Producer
|One of the most important aspects of a producer's job is to finance a film, TV, or music project. Mary Aloe explains that in order to sufficiently finance a creative project, the producer must know many people with the funds and interest to take on such a risky venture. Mary Aloe know that by developing razor sharp networking skills will help you secure needed financing and become a producer. You will need to attend industry events, conferences, and parties so that you will know what sort of projects are popular and more likely to receive financial support from key investors.Mary Aloe sheds light that networking is the primary reason that anyone who would like to become a producer should move to well-known entertainment production centers. For example, in the United States, Los Angeles, California or New York, New York are good locations to work out of. Other film, music, and television production cities that you may want to consider for relocation include Toronto, Ontario, Canada; London, United Kingdom; Mumbai, India; Tokyo, Japan; and Lagos, Nigeria.
Particularly in television and music, a producer is often the author of the series's or album's creative vision. Mary Aloe explains that by continuing to develop your talents as a writer, musician, or cinematographer is important to getting your name noticed by other executive producers of popular entertainment programs who can help you achieve your professional goals.
Going to business school and getting your MBA will help you learn more about the financial and marketing roles of an executive producer. It may also help you build connections in the industry. Researching schools located in the global entertainment production centers will help you get the most of out of your education.

PCLinuxOnline: The Free Groupware Killer Solution for SMBs
Under Windows there is the Outlook/Exchange duo. Under Linux there is ...? Evolution is nice but, correct me, it's not an easy task to find a *free* groupware server on Linux where it connects to. On the other hand Kontact connects to free groupware servers like Kolab only. After reading the manuals I think Kolab is a PITA to setup. The recent Kontact version in CVS also connects to eGroupware, a PHPGroupware fork. PCLinuxOnline features a Howto about the setup of Kontact CVS and eGroupware.
Judging from manuals
While I appreciate the fact that Kontact is able to connect to many groupware servers including MS Exchange, egroupware and Kolab it is plain ridiculous to judge on a piece of SW after reading the manual.
Funny enough is the fact that while Kolab has many hundred pages of in detail manuals these manuals don't cover the installation process at all ;-)
Currently the installation of the old Kolab 1.0 is done (after downloading all required packages from ftp.zfos.org) by calling the install script 'obmtool kolab' in order to do a full installation from source. After the installation there is a single line to bootstrap the server.
If you prefer precompiled binaries than have a look at ftp://ftp.zfos.org/brew/kolab/BIN where you can find prebuild binary tarballs for 11 platforms.
For the upcoming Kolab 2.0 the packages are available from ftp.kolab.org and the same procedure applies.
Last but not least there is a total integration of Kolab 1.0 into Mandrake 10.

"The Kolab server adds a full groupware server solution to Mandrakelinux 10.0 Official professional packs."
By Martin at Sat, 2004/07/03 - 5:00am
Re: Judging from manuals
I installed kolab as a test.
What absolutely goes beyond me is why these programmers ignore the FHS and stick everything under /kolab. It's even worse, they hardcoded the path of many (all?) files like IIRC $prefix/etc/ldap/ldap.conf - come on!
What also goes beyond me is why they do not co-operate with the respective cyrus, apache, proftpd etc. projects if they needed extra features. Taking a snapshot of those software packages and building a tower on top of it is not the OSS way of doing things.
I also do not understand why they try to press that stupid openpkg package format. The OpenPKG environment needs to "bootstrap" itself and it is not cross-platform (it did not work on PPC). The posting about the "autotoolization" of Kolab shows the right way - but why so late?
The OpenGroupware.org people offer a custom Knoppix ISO - why isn't there any such thing with Kolab? There are OpenGroupware debs that neatly fit into the system - there aren't any Kolab debs (see above).
The Kroupware project chose the server of the Bynary solution - now there is no supported client software for the Win32 platform. You cannot buy Bynary Insight 1.0 anymore and version 2.0 does not work with Kolab. (Aethera is not stable yet.)
Many mistakes in my eyes that are typical of proprietary software development going OSS like OpenGroupware, Mozilla, OpenOffice.org, with the speciality that Kolab consists of modules that were OSS beforehand.
I hope the Kolab people read this and reply in public. (Basiskom are regular here, I think).

I don't think that Basiskom has anything to do with Kolab/Proko.

I believe Kolab has a bright future and OpenPKG will accompany it even Kolab will become more independent as it's presence and it's community grows.

I must say that your rant only shows that we need to publish more information
Let me add that as software group we get beaten a lot for talking to the Free Software community from all sides. Each of our team has a long list of credible Free Software experience and we fought hard about our decisions. In the end without the contracts
By Bernhard Reiter at Sat, 2004/07/03 - 5:00am
Re: Judging from manuals
I believe it is very impotsnt to care about standardisation in the groupware community, or "interoperability",
Up to now I see x 80% solutions that don't really please me. Usability of most of the tools is still weak.
eGroupwa´re is a nice tool but is far from usable. Products like Notes were designed with the user in mind, not a technology push products.

Re: Judging from manuals - Aethera 1.1 is out toda
you mention that Aethera isn't stable, and this is true for some people and we appreciate feedback that allows us to make it more stable, but today we have released version 1.1 of Aethera for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X with even more features for Kolab, you can check it out at www.thekompany.com/projects/aethera.
By Shawn Gordon at Sat, 2004/07/03 - 5:00am
Re: Judging from manuals
Well thank for the overwhelming reaction, also via e-mail.
First, I'd like to apologize for the negative tone in my comment. I appreciate the efforts the "Kolab people" put into the project even after the initial funding has run out. I bet FOSS maintainers have to put up with rants all the time... :-(
Sorry for the injustice and the "stupid package format".
I stick to my arguments, however.
Of course I had a closer look to OpenPKG. I also looked at the archives.
The only reason the FAQ (http://www.openpkg.org/faq.html) mentions why there needs to be yet another package format:
"But to be honest, these tools do not satisfy the requirements of an OpenPKG like system."
Well that's not enough.
The other link you provided brings up:
"We think that OpenPKG is currently the best solution in order to be able to support many platforms simultaneously. With the help of the OpenPKG people (especially Thomas Lotterer) we now can offer binary packages for SUSE 9.0, SuSE 8.2, Redhat 9, Redhat Enterprise Linux 3, Gentoo 1.4.3, FreeBSD 5.2, FreeBSD 4.9, Fedora 1, Debian 3.1, Debian 3.0, and Debian 2.2. "
Thousands of FOSS software projects managed to get into a multitude of operating system (FOSS _and_ proprietary) without that specific OpenPKG format. You will find cyrus in almost all Unix-like operating systems, many more than those you enumerated and on many more processor platforms. I mean thousands of FOSS projects many of which have significantly less programming (wo)man-power available than Kolab.
I still have the strong feeling you press your pet project OpenPKG, to the detriment of the Kolab software.
If it were easier to integrate into any OS, many more distribution would have done that, given the great demand for such software and the age of Kolab 1.0.
"Q: Why no Knoppix?
Demo tools fare quite well. Knoppix made significant inroads just because it is a demo tool.
Ad Windows clients: there is currently no Windows client ready to replace the Exchange/Outlook gang. Last time I checked, the Toltec was not ready for production environment.
"OpenPKG can be installed multiple times on a single machine."
OK, perhaps this is of interest to some of you, I esteem this feature not worth the hassle it entails. AFAIK, I also can install .deb and .rpm packages into other places than the default directory (as is done by debootstrap) if I happen to need several&different cyrus installations on a single machine. (Testing is done better on a test machine apart from the production instance... :-)
"OpenPKG claims itself being *the* cross-Unix-platform packaging tool. Of course it is not possible to support every OS and every CPU. Demand for PPC is negligible."
Now, this is a beautiful contradiction. Either it is "the" cross-Unix-platform or a specific platform is negligible. BTW, have a look at the statistics, Debian PPC is still alive and kicking :-) And I can have .deb packages for 11 (or 18?) different platforms.
As a conclusion, I find bundling the Kolab development to OpenPKG a bad idea and the project found its way into mainstream FOSS distributions unfortunately way too late.

No killer app yet?
Hmm, I don't think you can compare Kontact and Outlook. Just compare Outlook 2003 with the current CVS version of Kontact: you still see that Outlook is years older and much ahead especially form the usability point of view.
There are not many features missing, e.g. KMail seems to me much better than the mail part of outlook.
By Norbert at Wed, 2004/06/30 - 5:00am
Re: No killer app yet?
I think things are improving quite a bit in the attractiveness standpoint.. look at korganizer 3.1 versus 3.2, for example.
My major request is to replace the sidebar with icons in kontact with the one that most KDE preferences dialogs as well as apollon uses. It's more standard.
By anon at Thu, 2004/07/01 - 5:00am
Re: No killer app yet?
I just used Outlook XP for the first time. Open a new mail window, click on the "To:" button so the address selection modal window pops up. Not resizeable! I could not make the address selection widget big enough so I could see the whole name of the entries.
This Outlook software is old, really old, that's true.
Tell us, what features do you exactly miss?
By kmsz at Sat, 2004/07/03 - 5:00am
Re: No killer app yet?
Actually Outlook 2003 (the current one, after OL XP) is a substantial rewrite.

Re: bring back more quality to dot stories
> Kontact has also (at least some level of) support for Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint groupware servers.
And is this partial support enabled (in any release)?
Re: bring back more quality to dot stories
Why, it most certainly is. I've been using it at least the entire KDE 3.2.x line, possibly even longer, and I'm using binary packages from kde-redhat for Redhat 7.3. Writing to an Exchange server will bring up a dialog saying that it is experimental, it's scrambles national characters (UTF-8 problem?), it's a manual synch operation etc etc but it's there.
Re: bring back more quality to dot stories
Why I ask? Because http://kontact.org/groupwareservers.php says that those are "disabled for the KDE 3.2 release".
Re: bring back more quality to dot stories
Yes, by default it's disabled in the KDE 3.2 release. You enable it by changing a setting.

Have to admit
that I have tried several times to get kolab going (on fedora, redhat 9, and mandrake 10 official). No go. After really going through it, it was set-up to handle just about any scalable enterprise type senario.
Instead, I think that a simplier set-up would work better for SMBs and Homes.

Michael L. Cunningham, MD, PhD, is chief of the Division of Craniofacial Medicine and professor of pediatrics in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He is medical director of Seattle Children's Craniofacial Center and holds the Jean Renny Endowed Chair in Craniofacial Medicine. He is also adjunct professor in the Departments of Biological Structures, Oral Biology and Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Washington.
Dr. Cunningham balances responsibilities in administration, patient care and research. He does bedside teaching of medical students, pediatrics residents and dental students. His clinical interests focus on the diagnosis and long-term interdisciplinary care of children with craniofacial malformations, with a particular interest in craniosynostosis. He is co-investigator on several clinical research projects, ranging from the epidemiology of positional plagiocephaly to computer modeling of craniofacial conditions.
Funded through the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, Dr. Cunningham's basic molecular and developmental biology lab has been open since 1993 and is using human and mouse models to investigate the molecular causes of craniosynostosis and developmental pathogenesis of midface hypoplasia associated with syndromic craniosynostosis.
Complementary expertise of three Seattle organizations creates a feeding device that could save infants in low-resource areas. ... cont.
Dr. Cunningham was the greatest doctor I ever had. He followed in great footsteps. My previous doctor, Dr. Clarren mmm [made] are sure I was left in good hands. I'm grateful to the amazing doctors and staff at Children's Hospital in Seattle. I spent most my childhood and young adult life repairing my palate and cleft.
I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for these guys.

Dr. Cunningham has been and is one of my son's all time favorite doctors of all time. He truly is one of a kind. Brilliant with the best bedside side manners. He truly loves his kids! Parker T. Walsh son and long time patient.
Thanks from most grateful mother,
Cindy Walsh
Dr. Cunningham is one of my best doctors. He has helped me alot through my appointments. And I could always count on him whenever I have a problem.
Dr. Cunningham is very personable and relates to our child where he is in this journey. A compassionate, caring physician who treats our family with the utmost respect and allows us to make this journey at our pace and understands our hesitencies about the care and surgery of our child.
My son said after one of the clinics "Mom, that was one of the very best clinics ever. Dr. Cunningham talked to me and not to you. I am in charge and I like it." From that point on, my son has taken charge in his healthcare and when providers begin to ask me questions, he jumps to answer them. Dr. Cunninhgam has helped my son realize his potential for controlling his healthcare course and making decisions, to ask more questions or to look at me and ask for help.
Thank you Dr. Cunningham you are a great, caring and wonderful person!
Dr. Cunningham is the best! My daughter has been a patient at the Cranifacial center for almost 14 years. The care that we have received from Dr. Cunningham and the entire crew is outstanding.

Diagnosis and management of craniofacial malformation syndromes, Molecular developmental biology of craniosynostosis and other craniofacial conditions
Craniosynostosis Research Program Isolated craniosynostosis (premature fusion of the skull bones) occurs in approximately 1 out of 2500 births. The sutures of the skull are the areas of expansion during normal brain growth. Premature suture fusion results in abnormalities in head shape due to restriction of growth in the region of a fused suture. These changes of head shape can be associated with increased intracranial pressure (pressure within the skull) that can result in permanent brain injury. In addition to the risks of brain injury, craniosynostosis is often associated with alteration of craniofacial growth leading to mid-facial hypoplasia, dental malocclusion, and orbital deformation. The combination of craniosynostosis and its associated facial malformations leads to significant health problems. Patients with craniosynostosis require one or more reconstructive surgeries to correct the functional deficits associated with their malformations. Craniosynostosis remains a significant medical and dental health issue deserving of aggressive scientific investigation. The Cunningham Laboratory and members of the Children's Craniofacial Center use both basic science and clinical science to answer important questions about the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of craniosynostosis. Dr. Cunningham and his lab group use bone cell lines and animal models to study the molecular and developmental causes of human malformations. Their primary interest is a condition called craniosynostosis. Their research is focused on the molecular and developmental causes of several hereditary craniosynostosis syndromes including Apert, Crouzon, Saethre-Chotzen, and Muenke syndromes. These conditions are caused by mutations in members of the fibroblast growth factor receptor family (FGFRs) or TWIST. In addition to these relatively rare forms of synostosis, the Cunningham lab investigates the molecular and developmental causes of isolated single suture craniosynostosis. Through the use of modern techniques of molecular biology, mutational analysis, expression analysis, and cell biology the Cunningham lab investigates the normal development of the human skull and pathogenesis of craniosynostosis as a mechanism to identify alternative treatment and prevention strategies.

Semiconductor Websites Are Growing In Popularity
The internet has grown tremendously over the past decade.
With this, many businesses and companies have grown also.
One industry that has seen a rise in profit is the components
industry. Many distributors have looked to the Web to promote
products rather than the outdated catalog print IC SUPPLY
has equipped their website with multiple features that aid the
customer in locating the parts they need. One of these features
is the Live Chat, which enables a customer to converse personally
with a IC SUPPLY sales rep. Our website is geared towards
easing the search for products for our customers
A study has been released through Brown University regarding battle expenses. The study asserts that the wars America has fought since 2001 could up to trillions of dollars. The final expense of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq may add up to $4 trillion, and might have resulted in the deaths of up to 250,000 people.

What are the main specifications for the I2C bus?
The I2C bus uses two signals, a serial clock signal and a serial data signal, to transfer data among multiple devices.
The following three transfer rates are provided:
- Standard mode: up to 100 Kbps
- Fast mode: up to 400 Kbps
- High-speed mode: up to 3.4 Mbps
A device that supports one of the faster transfer rates must also be able to operate when connected to a bus with a slower transfer rate.
A bridge must be used to separate a high-speed mode bus from a standard mode or fast mode bus.
Although communications are synchronized with a serial clock signal, it is still possible to use just one bus to connect several devices (called "masters") that control communications via with a specified communications partner (this is called a "multi-master" system).
Consequently, the protocol not only determines how data is handled but also specifies destination addresses and bus arbitration data.
(1) Connected devices
Devices that can be connected to an I2C bus are classified as follows.
- Master only/TD>: Microcontrollers are mainly used as masters.
- Slave only: EEPROMs, A/D converters, D/A converters, etc.
- Master/slave (shared): For when both master and slave functions are used in a multi-master system
Master-only functions are often used with microcontrollers, such as when connecting to an EEPROM.
Slave functions are also used for some applications.
(2) Interface signal
An interface signal is normally driven via an open drain output in order to connect output from multiple devices.
The low-level interface signal is output from a device and the high-level interface signal is provided via a pull-up resistor.
When using high-speed mode, a current source pull-up is included in each device to accelerate the signal's rise time.
Unless otherwise specified, the following descriptions pertain only to the standard bus and fast bus.
Two voltage levels are specified for the bus signals. Since recent microcontroller models enable the power supply to be modified, the pull-up resistor for the I2C bus is connected to VDD, so that the high-level input voltage becomes 0.7VDD (min).
Older devices or other devices with fixed power supply voltages are connected to a 5 V ±5% voltage, which means that the high-level input voltage becomes 3 V (min).
(b) Serial clock (SCL)
Communications are synchronized with this SCL clock signal.
Normally, during communications SCL is output by a master device, and the transmitting device modifies the serial data when SCL is low and retains the data when SCL is high.
However, if the slave device has not been set up for communications, standby is set by setting SCL to the low level, until the data can be synchronized.
If the SDA signal changes when SCL is high, it becomes a control signal for start conditions, stop conditions, etc.
(3)Basic communication methods
[Start condition]
To start communications, the master must first obtain bus access.
To do this, it issues a start condition.
This condition is implemented when SDA is set to low level while SCL is at high level.
If either SDA or SCL is already at low level at that time, it means that another master is currently using the bus, so communications must be set to reserved status since no new communications can be started.
If the master device that is not able to use the bus is also able to function as a slave device, communications standby mode is set for it as a slave device.
However, if two or more masters have issued a start condition, it is not possible at this stage to set a priority among them.
In addition to being used to obtain bus access in order to start communications, the start condition is used to switch the data transmit/receive direction between the master and slave devices while the bus is still being accessed.
In such cases, the start condition is called a restart condition.
For a specific example, see [Restart condition] describing restart conditions below.
[Address and arbitration]
After the start condition is issued, 8-bit data that includes a 7-bit address specification and a one-bit transfer direction specification is issued to identify the slave device.
When two or more master devices issue the start condition, it means that each device transmits a slave address.
Since the I2C bus gives higher priority to lower values, communications that are directed to the lowest slave address take priority (i.e., the slave for which SDA is held at low level).
This principle is used to arbitrate bus access.
An ACK (low) signal is returned from the selected slave device at the ninth clock cycle of SCL in response to the transmitted address and transfer direction information. (A wait occurs when SCL is being pulled low at this time. This wait will be described in [Wait] below.)
If the specified slave device does not exist, there is nothing to pull the bus signal to low level, so an ACK may not be returned.
If an ACK is not returned, the communications are stopped at that point; the master issues a stop condition to stop use of the bus.
[Data transfer]
Data transfer begins once communications with the slave device has been established.
At that time, during the wait status that is in effect while SCL is at low level, the slave device sets up the transfer direction according to the eighth bit of the address data (transfer direction specification bit). And when this setup is completed, SCL is no longer held low.
Now SCL can be controlled by the master device, and data transfer occurs in synchronization with SCL signals from the master device.
The timing of these operations is illustrated below.
Data is transferred in 8-bit units, and an acknowledge (ACK) signal is returned when the transferred data has been received.
Whenever data is transmitted from a master device to a slave device, an ACK must be returned by the slave device when it receives the data. When an ACK is not received, it informs the master device that the data was not received.
When the master device is the receiving device, if it does not return an ACK in response to the last received data, this informs the slave device that the communication session has ended.
When the slave does not receive an ACK for the final transmitted data, it concludes that the communication session has ended, at which point it stops any further transmission and sets SDA to high level. If this processing is not performed before the slave starts transmitting the next data, SDA will be pulled low, which will prevent the master device from issuing a stop condition.
When the slave (or master) pulls SCL to low level, communication is stopped (set to wait mode).
Normally, a wait is set either after the eighth clock cycle (when data transfer is completed but before an ACK is returned) or after the ninth clock cycle (when an ACK has been returned but before the next transfer).
A wait is set at the eighth clock cycle when determining whether or not to return an ACK in response to data on the receiving side.
The transmitting side sets a wait after the ACK (at the ninth clock cycle).
This confirms the ACK response and determines the next operation.
[Restart condition]
In cases such as with EEPROM devices, where the device contains internal address information in addition to the device's own address, the I2C bus's address can only be used to select the device.
The address information that specifies which of the device's memory addresses to use, therefore, must be transmitted as data.
When writing, the write data can be transmitted after the memory address, as shown in the example below.
When reading the data, however, transfer direction must be switched.
A read example is shown below.
Bus access begins when the first start condition is issued, and the device's address is specified (in this time, a transmission from the master is specified).
Afterward, the device's internal address is transmitted as data.
A read operation cannot yet occur, so a second start condition is issued.
ST2 shown in the figure below is the restart condition.
Later, a device is again specified by an address, but this time it specifies transmission by a slave device.
The subsequent data will be transmitted from a slave device to a master device, so a read operation is enabled.
[Stop condition]
When the data transfer is completed, the bus is released. A stop condition is used to do this.
The master device sets SDA to low level while SCL is already at low level, then it sets SCL to high level.
After this, the stop condition is set when SDA goes to high level.
When writing to an EEPROM, the actual write operation in the device occurs once the stop condition is detected.

Package, distribute, and update any app for Linux and IoT
Snaps are containerised software packages that are simple to create and install. They auto-update and are safe to run. And because they bundle their dependencies, they work on all major Linux systems without modification.Build your first snap Get started using GitHub
Snaps are available for any Linux OS running snapd, the service that runs and manages snaps.
Snapcraft is the command line tool for writing and publishing your software as a snap.
Snapcraft is available on most popular Linux systems .
See how Snapcraft works with your language or framework to make packaging and installing your software easy.
We had been facing issues with packaging problems for years...snaps seemed it would make my life a lot easier. The auto-updating feature is huge and one that we haven't seen elsewhere. Due to the nature of our platform, we release updates more than daily which admittedly can be annoying for our users to constantly update. Therefore, having them done seamlessly in the background makes life for our users so much easier. It's great to see snaps as the first serious attempt to try and unify the community.
We definitely find Snapcraft easier as it is yaml based and provides details of what artifacts artefacts are needed. Debian packaging has things that need to be followed which can be distribution specific, which creates complication. The modular containments is what appealed about snaps and can see it will be a lot more flexible. Starting with snaps is easy and the resources that are provided are clean and structured which aids adoption.
The Snap store provides additional exposure to our tools for many of our existing and potential users. The decision to use it came quite naturally. We believe the store will be a major software discovery tool on Linux, so the more people find out about our tools naturally and install them more easily, the better for everyone.

Congress needs to realize that the current cap on H-1B visas greatly underestimates the need for high-skilled workers in the US, and this blunder will only impact our economy in a negative way
Washington, D.C. (Vocus) March 30, 2007
In another striking example of a broken U.S. immigration system, American businesses looking to hire professional workers from abroad are gearing up for an expected frenzy on April 2, the first day on which an employer can request a visa for an H-1B worker under the quota limit for the fiscal year 2008 that begins on October 1, 2007.
The number of H-1B visas, capped at 65,000, was reduced from 195,000 by Congress in fiscal year 2004.
Because of the annual cap on the number of H-1B visas, many expect the allocation to be exhausted on the first day that applications may be filed, which is six months prior to the start of the fiscal year. If an employer does not get its application in before the limit is reached, it will lose a window of opportunity to apply that won't reopen for another year. And, once that window does reopen, it will be yet another six months after application before the needed employee can start work.
In fiscal year 2007, the supply of such visas lasted less than eight weeks after the filing period opened. "The shortage of H-1Bs is hitting a critical point and that isn't good news for U.S. employers who may now have to cancel projects or send the projects overseas," said Carlina Tapia-Ruano, President of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. "These high-skilled workers are vital to U.S. competitiveness, and we should welcome their contributions to U.S. economic growth."
The H-1B visa program is utilized by U.S. businesses and other organizations to augment the existing labor force with foreign workers in specialty occupations that require expertise in a specialized field. Typical H-1B occupations include scientists, architects, engineers, computer programmers, teachers, accountants, and doctors. H-1B workers are admitted to the United States for an initial period of three years, which may be extended for an additional three years.
"Congress needs to realize that the current cap on H-1B visas greatly underestimates the need for high-skilled workers in the US, and this blunder will only impact our economy in a negative way," concluded Tapia-Ruano. "The most expeditious way to resolve this crisis is for Congress to pass a comprehensive immigration reform measure as soon as possible."
The American Immigration Lawyers Association is the national association of immigration lawyers established to promote justice, advocate for fair and reasonable immigration law and policy, advance the quality of immigration and nationality law and practice, and enhance the professional development of its members.

Target Tried Antitheft Cards
Years Ago Retailer Halted Rollout of Chip-Based Payment System
Target Corp. Chief Executive Gregg Steinhafel is calling on retailers and banks to adopt chip-based credit-card technology to better protect shoppers. But the debate was different a decade ago, when the executive was on the other side of the issue as Target pulled the plug on a $40 million, three-year program that did just that.
Chip-based credit cards—in which a smart chip in the card works with special readers installed at stores—are widely used in Europe and Canada, making it more difficult for thieves to profit from the...

Stepping Stones Lighthouse Is For Sale
Meta Cushing, a General Services Administration realty specialist, said the six entities that submitted letters expressing interest by the deadline will be given an opportunity next month to visit the lighthouse to get a better sense of potential restoration and maintenance costs.
Then they will have 90 days to file an application, including a plan for restoration and reuse that retains the historical and architectural integrity and allows for at least limited public visitation. The National Park Service will decide which, if any, of the applicants will get the lighthouse.
"Stepping Stones is offshore so it's a little more difficult to put together a program," said Cushing, who refused to provide the names of the nonprofit groups until they file a formal application.

Longtime fugitive Miguel Torres was arrested at his home in Bologna by Italian authorities, acting on information provided by the marshals.
Torres, 42, had been charged with first-degree murder for the fatal shooting of Barbara West-Torres in 2005. The 32-year-old bank teller was gunned down in a Reading parking lot after obtaining a protective order against her husband, authorities said.
Miguel Torres allegedly used a spare key to enter his wife's vehicle, hiding in the backseat until she left work. West-Torres saw her husband when she approached and tried to flee, but authorities said he pursued her and shot her in the head.
Torres allegedly fled the scene in his wife's car. He later switched to a rented van, which was recovered a year later at LaGuardia Airport, authorities said. Torres was named to the marshals' list of 15 most-wanted fugitives in 2011.
On the morning of the slaying, Miguel Torres had placed a large advertisement in the Reading Eagle with the couple's wedding portrait. The ad read: "Mike & Barbie Torres - Always & Forever. I love you."
West-Torres' sister, Jessica Lebron of West Reading, told the newspaper on Friday that the news has been "really hard."
"It's kind of like reliving it all over again," Lebron said. "We're happy he got caught, but we don't know much yet."
Years after her death, the victim's parents filed a wrongful-death lawsuit seeking damages from Miguel Torres in absentia. A Berks County jury awarded $46 million to Angel and Catherine Lebron in November 2010. It's unclear if they will ever collect it.
Torres had been living in Italy under the name Rene Rondon, according to the Marshals Service. It was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer.
